Know Before You Go:
Be prepared for crowds, this is one of the most popular hikes in the park.
A great spot for sunset views and some of the best views of Yosemite Valley.
We recommend doing the loop counter-clockwise and hitting Taft Point last.
This trailhead is only accessible when Glacier Point Road is open. At all other times the only way to access these viewpoints is via The Pohono Trail.
